The Shandong Provincial Nutrition Improvement Program for Nationals (2018-2030) was launched on May 12. According to the program, Shandong will start five campaigns to improve the nutrition status for five groups of people including infants, teenagers and the elderly.

Appropriate intervention measures will be taken to tackle nutritional problems of these groups.

Nutrition cookbooks for students of different ages will be compiled to guide them eat nutritionally and improve their nutrition status. Students' body mass index is going to be included in the provincial student physical fitness test. Education for nutritional health will be carried out and included in the education system for nationals.

As for the elderly, a health management and care system is expected to be launched. The nutrition status of senior residents will be added in their health records.

The other two campaigns aim to improve clinical nutrition and balance people's diet and exercise.
